I've just read about it, never actually used it verbatim tbh, but just found it kinda fascinating. I wrote a somewhat modified version (I don't track local thread ID, I use Rust's type system and Send/Sync properties instead) of the algorithm for a very different purpose: I use it to allow safe moves back and forth between (non-atomic) Rc and (atomic) Arc objects. For this purpose, it is very useful. The actual Rc/Arc operations are no more expensive than regular Rust Rc/Arc (except for the last decrement on Rc - slightly more expensive) I got the idea from this person (I didn't use their algorithm though - they probably do it similar to how I do it though): https://crates.io/crates/hybrid-rc https://crates.io/crates/hybrid-rc
